oh, the anticipation

i really hate it when i'm watching or reading something and i get the feeling things are just too good to last, that there's something horrible or painful or sad coming right around the corner. why can't everything just be good all the time (or at least just not end terribly)?

goodbye, columbus is the story of two kids who "meet one summer break and dive into an affair that is as much about social class and suspicion as it is about love." granted, that serves as a tip-off that things will not be 100% rosy, but still, i didn't expect the good to be so great! maybe i'm just a romantic, or more likely, a sucker for the blooming of relationships. there's nothing better than the first moment you realize: this is the beginning of something special. when you're heart starts beating fast, your palms get sweaty, and the only thought that can stay anchored in your mind is that someone and you together again...

even if it's not me that's falling in love, the fact that someone else is enthralls me enough that yesterday i missed the subway stop on my way from the gym to gerald's house. i ended up taking a quick detour, exiting 23rd st and walking the rest of the way with a quick break for three slices of pizza (i was hungry after working out, and i couldn't wait to read what would happen next).

well, it's time for me to go home so i've got to wrap up this post (which really began three hours ago at around 7:30pm, with minor additions about every 15 minutes until now). good night!
